# Altura Altura makes it possible to integrate blockchain-backed assets in your applications without the need for any web3 knowledge. ## Altura is creating: - A marketplace for buying, selling and sending NFTs - A user interface for creating smart NFTs - Loot boxes that drop NFTs and a way to create loot boxes - APIs and SDKs for video game integration ## Tokenomics: ALU is the native utility token that is used for: - Transactions on the Altura NFT marketplace - Governance and determining the direction of the platform ## Features ### Smart NFTs Imagine a video game sword that gets duller every time it is used to slay a monster. Smart NFTs have properties that can change based on certain conditions. ### Loot Boxes Reimagined We want to create truly random loot boxes on the blockchain that drop NFTs with varying rarities when they are unlocked. ### Cross-Platform Items Altura wants gamers to be able to use the same in-game items between multiple video games.
